Arkansas one of three finalists for Thomas

Defensive end Solomon Thomas will be making an official visit to Arkansas on Jan. 24.

Defensive end Solomon Thomas of Coppell, Texas is down to three schools in no particular order, UCLA, Stanford and Arkansas, according to his father, Chris.

In a text message, Chris Thomas said he spoke to Texas Coach Charlie Strong and Ohio State co-defensive coordinator Luke Fickell this afternoon and informed them that based on academic, social, and athletic elements that Solomon was not a fit for their program.

As a a result, he will not be visiting either school or meeting any of their staff. So it's down to (and in no particular order) UCLA, Stanford and Arkansas.
